Synopsis

The GitLab instance installed on the remote host is affected by vulnerability.

Description

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is 15.1 prior to 15.7.8, 15.8.4, 15.9.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-9-2-RELEASED advisory.

- An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions starting from 15.1 before 15.7.8, all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.4, all versions starting from 15.9 before 15.9.2. If a group with SAML SSO enabled is transferred to a new namespace as a child group, it's possible previously removed malicious maintainer or owner of the child group can still gain access to the group via SSO or a SCIM token to perform actions on the group. This is a medium severity issue (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, 5.7). It is now mitigated in the latest release and is assigned CVE-2022-4331. (CVE-2022-4331)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
